Billing itself as "Saltwater Heaven," Aransas Pass, TX, was founded in 1909 as part of a government land lottery. Since its early days, the town relied heavily on the shrimping industry, a legacy that the city of more than 8,000 residents cherishes to this day. In addition to restaurants like Redfish Willies Waterfront Grill and The Fisherman's Daughter, RV campers will enjoy fishing, watersports, and long days on the beach.
Although the town is 79.29% water, activities like birding and hiking are also popular at locations like Newbury Park. This is a famous resting place for thousands of hummingbirds as they fly south for the winter through Aransas Pass Bay. If you plan to stay more than a day or two, set one aside for fishing in Redfish Bay. You can use your own boat and or take a charter out of Conn Brown Harbor and try your luck snagging a speckled trout, flounder, or one of the massive redfish that give the bay its name.
Kayaking is also a popular activity, or you can take a ferry to one of the nearby islands and explore. One must-experience activity while you're in Aransas Pass is a flying tour of North Texas in a vintage plane courtesy of Texan Warbird Adventures. Not ready to get back on dry land? Visit Kohootz Dolphin Encounters and swim with the friendly sea mammals.
The city of Corpus Christi is just a few minutes away by boat or land, and it's a favorite of locals and tourists alike.
